I’ve just launched two activities which are in PDF format.
This is the first time that I’ve put out something in PDF.
And, I’m happy to hear from you on this.
Table of Contents
Beyond Card Games
I hope to continue creating activities for seniors. But, I guess it may take a different shape and form beyond a deck of cards.
I do think that card games are great in the way that they are able to bring people together and interact face to face.
It is an easily accessible tool for large groups.
You can’t simply hand an ipad to every senior if you have a big event with large communities involved.
Visually Appealing Activities
I want to create activities that are visually appealing.
I try to include icons of everyday things that are familiar to us.
Hopefully, they can invoke positive memories among seniors and trigger some form of response from them.
1. Uniquely Singapore Colouring
SALE PRICE: $5
Colouring is a great activity for mental and emotional health.
It is even more meaningful when you get to colour items that you recognise.
This 9 page PDF comprises seven colouring sheets of the Kueh Lapis, Gasing, Cha Kiak, Ketupat, Png Kueh, Durian and Ba Zhang.
The sheets are partially coloured (as indicated on the cover) so that it gives the participant an idea of the intended colour of the item.
2. Step by Step Drawing
SALE PRICE: $3
I was inspired by one of the pages in my grandma ‘s colouring book.
It was an activity that guided people through the steps to draw a particular item. I tried to lead her in this activity.
When we were doing the activity, I realised that it was really quite challenging. It required a ton of hand eye coordination.
So, I created the Step by Step Sketch Activity. It is a The 11 page downloadable PDF comprises 5 exercises.
It guides you and your loved ones to complete the drawing of the orange, seashell, leaf, flower and mushroom in a step by step way.
This is a great activity for seniors who love to draw. For seniors who can’t draw or has issues gripping a pen, you can engage them by getting them to spot the difference between the pictures.
Each picture is a progressive development from the previous, thus, there would be differences between the pictures.
I’m happy to get feedback on whether I should continue in this direction.
